Flagler Beach, FL – If you’re a photographer, within the first few moment’s of Birdie Gibbs’ interview you find a kindred spirit. As she utters the words ‘National Geographic’ and ‘Ansel Adams’, you’re spellbound enough to watch the entire interview.
It’s the captivating moments of an artist’s life that inspire other artists of all ages to continue seeking, creating and dreaming, and the Pineapple Gallery in Flagler Beach is helping stoke creative passions with their ‘Creative People Series‘, hosted by gallery co-founder Audrey Scherr.
“I started the series in 2020 with the aim to talk to people who are doing creative things in a way that would be interesting to others. My hope is that the series will inspire people to enjoy art of various kinds, continue doing their own creative venture or jump into a new one,” she said.
Helping viewers discover things about the artist through each episode in the series is akin to opening a door within an aspiring artist, and Scherr says the lighthearted conversations allow the artists to share deeper insights.
“What an artist thinks about their work, their process and what makes them do it are extremely interesting. There is a tremendous variety of processes and, I think the more one knows about the process of anything, the more one appreciates it, which creates a greater appreciation for life in general,” said Scherr.
As an artist herself, she’s inspired by those on the show, and pleased with the talented artists who are willing to share a more intimate look at themselves and their work.
